Elections Under Threat As CBN Yet To Release Money To INEC, Security Agencies


With less than less days to the conduct of the 2023 general elections, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) is yet to release funds requested by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security agencies for logistics.

INEC said "We visited the CBN last week on the issue of cash for payment of some of the services, not all, some of the services that we are going to engage on election day".

"The bulk of payment for goods and services is made through electronic transfer. But there are certain critical services that will be remunerated by cash; and that’s why we went to the CBN and it’s a small percentage of the budget.

"The Central Bank has assured us that we will not suffer any encumbrances in that regard. So there are no issues with respect to that,” Yakubu said.
